Non-Fermi liquids as ersatz Fermi liquids: general constraints on compressible metals

DV Else, R Thorngren, T Senthil - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
A system with charge conservation and lattice translation symmetry has a well-defined filling
ν, which is a real number representing the average charge per unit cell. We show that if ν is …

Splitting of the Girvin-Macdonald-Platzman density wave and the nature of chiral gravitons in the fractional quantum Hall effect

AC Balram, GJ Sreejith, JK Jain - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
A fundamental manifestation of the nontrivial correlations of an incompressible fractional

The half-filled Landau level: The case for Dirac composite fermions

SD Geraedts, MP Zaletel, RSK Mong, MA Metlitski… - Science, 2016 - science.org
In a two-dimensional electron gas under a strong magnetic field, correlations generate
emergent excitations distinct from electrons. It has been predicted that “composite fermions” …

Particle-hole symmetry in the fermion-Chern-Simons and Dirac descriptions of a half-filled Landau level

C Wang, NR Cooper, BI Halperin, A Stern - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
It is well known that there is a particle-hole symmetry for spin-polarized electrons with two-
body interactions in a partially filled Landau level, which becomes exact in the limit where …
